I purchased "DSL on a 1 Gig USB drive" from "Lizard Biscuit" recently. I am new to using Linux with qemu on a USB drive, but not to using UNIX and Linux generally.

When I double-click "dsl-windows.bat", qemu boots up, but in the end it gives me the "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry." message. "ls" doesn't work, though "cd", "cat", and "mount" are available.

How can I get qemu to find the filesystem? So far I haven't found a mountpoint that works. If there is no filesystem, then where are the /dev files located?

There are no other MSWin batch files.

Which version of dsl-embedded are you using?

Please paste out the filelist of your usb and the contents of dsl-windows.bat

I am not sure of what they are distributing, but I would guess that you need to create a virtual hard drive for storage of data. Once you post the files and contents of the script as hats suggested then we will be able to help. You should also read the readme.txt file which should explain how to create your virtual storage device.
